Surviving Fashion Week 101: The Essentials

Fashion week in NYC, there’s nothing like it. It’s busy, it’s bustling, and beauty and fashion are at the forefront of all the events. Each year the style gets more dynamic, as does the beauty looks. Although the runway is known for statement beauty, when you’re helping prep or sitting in the front row it’s better to keep things simple. NYFW is known for its long days! Expert, and Store Manager at our NYC location, Maria, has been around the block and knows how-to prep for these days. This is her how-to.

For mornings, I always tell the gals to make it easy; I use a beauty blender with my current choice of foundation. Beauty Blenders are my favorite for quick coverage and the Pro comes in a chic black shade to suit the week. From there, I add a touch of glam with Cle de Peau’s Luminizer, and simply finish with Trish Mascara. Love, love, love her Dramatic Lash.

For touch-ups throughout the day, I suggest Cos Bar cult classic, Lipsmart to hydrate lips. I’m obsessed so it’s always a recommendation of mine. Facial Mist is a NYFW must-have as well, and there’s no mist quite like the Natura Diamond Mist... it’s a treat! Finally, after a long day and night you need to take your makeup off. No, seriously, no matter how tired you are take the time to remove everything! Sisley’s remover is gentle and effective- it will take off all your makeup and the pollutants for the NYC streets. After that you’re ready to do it all over again.
